That was... well.... eh... Ok. Let me play devil's advocate for a moment.

I've seen 3 different camera angels of the home run. It was clearly a home run. But of the three camera angles I've seen, Only one shows you that it hits the railing. The other two, make it look as though the ball dips and hits the wall as it comes back in.

Click on the Peter Gammons bit, it is very interesting to see him talk about how Joyce became a sort of pariah among his peers for admitting he fucked up the Galarraga call, where some other umps were even saying Joyce should be banned from the game for admitting he messed up.

So it might not be Bud Selig, but the Ump union.

There was another one in the Angels-Houston game, while closer, was still wrong, AND they got it wrong after the review...

(oh, and yeah, my Angels totally suck... not a great feeling for the season to already be over, they are not going to climb out of this hole, and there are no signs their pitchers have any bit of the skill needed to do that...)

Umps are kinda like Blizz devs... full of themselves, and always right..

... the fact that more potential voters are swayed by a few trivial comments 10 years ago than a candidate literally collapsing is not a good sign and tends to indicate that even if Trump wins, it won't matter.

No electorate that stupid is going to survive long, one way or another.
